4.Compassion (同情) is a desire within us to help others.With effort,we can translate compassion into actions.An experience last weekend showed me this is true.I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly.These old people are our main customers,and it's easy to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy marl walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn't help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I told him that I was sorry,and the store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job.
Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up.if anything,he looked more pitiable,"Charge it to me,"was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft,safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed,either.Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
59.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuitsC.
A.promised to obey the store rules          
B.forgot to take any money with him
C.hoped to have the food first and pay later
D.could not afford anything more expensive

A.kind and lucky

C.friendly and helpful                                        
D.hum and disappointed
61.The writer followed the store rules becauseA.
A.he wanted to keep his present job
B.he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C.he considered the old gentleman dishonest
D.he expected someone else to pay for the old gentleman
62.What does the writer 1earn from his experience?B
A.Wealth is most important than anything else.
B.Helping others is easier said than done.
C.Experience is better gained through practice.
D.Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者在做收银员的时候遇到了一位可怜的老人身边没有现金和食物希望先赊账在付钱,为了保住自己的工作,尽管可怜他作者还是拒绝了,幸亏一位男士帮助了这位老人.

解答 59.C.细节理解题.根据文章第一段".He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day"可知他并非忘了带钱,而是没有现金(out of cash),新家里又没有食物,因而想先吃食物之后再付账;故选C.
60.B.推理判断题.根据文章第一段"This untidy marl walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards"可知这个老人贫穷又孤独;故选B.
61.A.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job"可知作者虽然可怜老人但还是拒绝的原因是他很重视他的工作不想失去;故选A.
62.B.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段"Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed",说明"compassion(同情)"更注重的是"action(行动)",说说容易做起来难;故选B.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

9.It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she would be working.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic,making her a few minutes late for her very first job.She decided she would start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the building,she had to stand at the lifts and wait several minutes before one arrived.When she finally reached the office marked"King Enterprises,"she knocked at the door nervously and waited.There was no answer.She tapped on the door again,but still there was no reply.From inside the next office,she could hear the sound of voices,so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr.King,it looked quite different now.In fact,it hardly looked like an office at all.The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking.At the far end of the room,somebody must have just told a good joke,she thought,because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in.For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch,clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and,in a matter of seconds,everyone was hard at work.No one paid any mind to Marie.Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office.Hardly looking up from his work,he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr.King,who would arrive at any moment.Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr.King arrived.Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning,arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.
